Hi,

I owe Chevrolet Cruze 2004 car. I feel some engine vibration( not continues just peak and comes after few seconds) whlie on D and break applied. This also ocuurs P and N positions bit lightly than on Drive position. There is no vibration while driving. Engine mounts are ok. Please help to figure out this issue.thank u.

Couple of questions.

1. Do you have this vibration in cold start (let's say in the morning)? During the cold start the engine should rev up beyond 1500 RPM and come down to around 800 as it gets warmed up. Are you experiencing the same vibration without AC?

2. When was the last time a tune up done? What I mean by a tune up is a clean up of the throttle body, idle air control valve, PCV, injectors, MAF sensor etc and check/replacement of air filter, fuel filter and spark plugs followed by a scan. Also check and rule out possible vacuum leaks towards the inlet manifold particularly from the brake servo booster. I hope you are not getting a Check Engine Light (CEL) indication and if so it is difficult to pin point to a particular component hence a tune up, if not done recently, is the sensible thing to do.

Well thank you. I didn't do a tune up since I bought this recently. I checked with a mechanic and told the engine oil filter cleaning may fix the prob. I will do things as u mentioned if the prob not fixed. It's highly appreciated.

"Engine oil filter" is not supposed to be cleaned but changed at every/every other engine oil change. If he called it a "thel filter" in his terminology he may have referred to the fuel filter.

The air filter might need a bit of cleaning.

Yes if the things mentioned by Rumesh88 is done properly, that should hopefully sort your problem...

While agreeing Rumesh, but the first thing should be cleaning of MAF sensor. Rest to be done according to the results.

I have done the oil filter clean along with and add extra engine oil as per the mechanic's guide. now the issue is fixed for now. anyway thank you for guidance hope i can do as u told if this come up again thanks again.

Confused.....????

[asanka_rg]

Hi all,

Issue comes again bit seriously. I have noticed the vibration got heavy when the AC turned on. And the vibration is so serious when the reverse gear position. I got to tell you car didn't run about 7days it was at home. Last week the issue disappeared. And after keeping car stopped for a week it became bit heavy. Need know what is this please give me a tip. Thanks.

[gayanath]

Did you clean the MAF sensor ????

Further, check whether the issue disappeared when the engine becomes hot.

As Rumesh said above, the oil filter is not serviceable. It should be replaced during every oil change. And what do you mean by adding "extra" engine oil? The amount of oil that should be in the engine has a minimum and maximum level. Adding "extra" can be as bad as running with low oil. Your mechanic doesn't seem to be addressing the actual issue here.

As others have advised, I too think you should get a tune-up done and clean the fuel system since you don't know when the last one was done.
